noticed a thread on the OC and theres a dealer (stealer?) advertising a 1990 UK spec MX5 for the price of £19,995

www.peternashcars.co.uk/used-car-mazda-mx-5-16-1489

have standard earlyISH cars reached the Ford prices now or is this just another hopefull dealer with high overheads

the car linked has no visable registration shown so unfortunately I cannot look-up the mot history as that should be interesting reading

think my un-welded but scruffy Eunos must be worth at least £10,000 then

Tyres are probably 1990 too..... For originality.

Slide better & feels like more power (at the 3,000rpm 'redline'

)

saw that, wondered if that was an attempt at 'running-in' the engine

OR worse, someone afraid that the engine was 'fragile'

suprised no underbonnet photos though

At 8000 miles it has less than one years use.
( All rubber parts would need to be replaced to put it into safe use )
The red tell tale was probably for running in purposes.
You would be buying a twelve month old car as far as condition and usage,
It looks to be in Showroom condition !!! ( It would be great for a collector to put in a private museum.)

So no Bloody use to anyone on here.

We can all carry on ragging our cars and enjoying them.
